Deschutes Black Butte Porter

Black Butte Porter is the flagship beer of Deschutes Brewery, first brewed in 1988. It is widely recognized as one of the most iconic craft porters in the United States, known for its distinct notes of chocolate and coffee balanced by a roasted malt finish.

The product is manufactured in Bend, Oregon, where the company maintains its primary brewing operations. Unlike many craft breweries that have been acquired by global conglomerates, Deschutes Brewery remains an independent, family and employee-owned company. This independence has allowed the brand to maintain its focus on traditional craft brewing techniques and community-based business practices.

Over the decades, Black Butte Porter has helped define the Pacific Northwest craft beer movement. The brand continues to operate out of its original home in Oregon, distributing its various ales and lagers across the United States and several international markets while retaining its identity as a pioneer of the American craft beer industry.
